Betty on the News: Hillary Clinton More Popular Than Obama

According to a new poll, the Secretary of State is more popular than the actual President.

Who would have thought? According to a new Gallup poll, Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has a 62 percent favorable rating as opposed to President Barack Obama’s 56 percent.

The poll was conducted during the first four days of October, and therefore did not take into account the public’s approval rating of Obama after winning the Nobel Peace Prize. But still, number’s don’t lie.

Perhaps it’s because Clinton is more of a behind-the-scenes person than Obama is. She told the Today Show on Monday, “I believe in delegating power. I’m not one of these people who feels like I have to have my face in the front of the newspaper or on the TV every moment of the day.”

Feeling the love from America, Clinton must be feeling pretty good right now. But all the positive attention doesn’t mean it’s all going to her head — she announced earlier this week that she will never run for President again. (NY Post)
